We Are Immortal 

(Copyright 1946 A. B. Katkamier) 

The most profound thought that enters the mind is the idea of a spirit- 
life beyond the grave, continuous in eternity. 

The charm of the beautiful things of life and nature is a preface to the 
sublime features of the eventful beyond. 

May we all look more and more for the beautiful, ever-present in 
humanity and in the smallest particle of substance to the largest object in 
our marvelous universe. 

Through the procession of the seasons, in the spirit- soul, following our 
separate inclination, we shall be with the gorgeous iris, the appealing rose, 
the nodding poppy, the stately chrysanthemum. 

_ We shall be with the multitude of o ther flowers, in their fascinating 
fragrances and colors. 

We shall be with each seed with its ur ge to reproduce, that succeeding 
plants may grow and bloom. 

In autumn, when the maturing ee | take on their lovely tints, there 
we shall be with each nature-painted leaf. 

We shall be with the curve of the rainbow with its hues of promise, 
with the rose-toned sky of the morning and with the resplendent sunset 
with its deep purples, its reds, its gold and its cerulean blue. 

_ We shall be with the balmy breeze, 









idless sea, and all forms of life. 
We shall be with the fruitful soil and the tasteful, nourishing foods. 
Appreciating and wondering we shall I 


in endless space. 

We shall be with the cheerful song of birds, with hearty laughter and 
with the musical harmony of all melodious sounds. 

We shall be with the art of the mind and the artistry of the hand. 

We shall be with the glad greeting of friends, the responsive touch of 
personality, the provocative flash of eyes, the ecstatic kiss of lovers. 

We shall be with the smiles of children, the buoyancy of youth, the 
ie een earess of mothers and with the understanding fellowship of 

athers 4 

We shall be in the happiness of conversation, the inspiration of encour- 
aging words, the performance of neighborly deeds. 

We shall be wherever there is willing help, steadfast loyalty, confiding 
faith, thoughtful kindness and the thrill of joy. 

God is a Spirit and His spirit vibrant-impulses radiate from His spirit- 
soul and permeate to the uttermost parts of everywhere and find a pulsating 
response in everything. 

The vibrant-impulses of our spirit-s ul—our consciousness—infiltrate 
and attune to God’s vibrant-impulses and we are partakers of His Divine 
presence. 

Where God’s spirit-soul is, our indi idual, ever-living spirit-soul will 
be also. 

. Being awakened to the grandeur of Mature; the good in people and the 
reality of Deity, is Heaven on earth. | 

And when we pass from this earth-life, we shall explore, in our quickened 
comprehension, the unknown glories of the mystical future. 

Thus we shall continue to advance our soul spirit-life. 

We shall share with all mankind, the splendors and satisfactions of 
eternal bliss and peace. This is Heaven of the spirit. 

For the Life of Yesterday goes on Today and throughout all Time. 

_ Let us meditate on these things each morning and each evening. 
Allen Belknap Katkamier, Macedon, N. Y.

Here Are Hundreds | 


of varieties of Iris from which to select the colors to 
paint your garden picture. The Master Artist gave the 
Iris so many hues, tints and shades of all colors, that 
it is rightly called the Rainbow Flower. Some flower 
lovers refer to the Iris as The Garden Orchid. The Iris 
has a wider color range than any other flower. | 
To briefly describe all the varieties of Iris in our 
Gardens would take several issues of “Iris News.” 
We will meet the price of any grower on any variety 
not listed here. Include same with your order. 4 
_ The following are descriptions of a few hundred 
varieties of Iris growing in quantity in our fields. The 
prices are adjusted to meet the desire of those who 
wish to beautify the home surroundings at little cost. 
In answer to many questions the following informa- 
tion is given regarding the description of Irises. A self 
is an Iris of uniform color; a bicolor has standards of 
one color and falls of a deeper shade of the same color; 
a variegata has falls of red, brown or red-purple and 
standards of some shade of yellow, a plicata is a light or 
white flower marked or stippled with a darker shade 
particularly on the margins; an amoena has white 
standards and colored falls; a blend is a combination of 
_ two or more colors. . 
The letter S. refers to the standards or upright top 
petals; F. refers to the falls which are lower or hanging 
etals. “

during the fall months are increasing their root growth every day 
all winter when the soil isn’t deeply frozen. But you should protect 
your fall-set plants by covering them lightly with excelsior, placing 
some earth over enough of the excelsior to prevent the wind from

be in a position to thrive even before spring set plants could be
